I’m Still Here

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

You had your chance

More than just a few

I could see you before me

Feel your breath on my face

You never scared me

Not in the least

I knew that I was stronger than you

I proved that the day I was born

So, keep on trying

I will be waiting here for you

And I will survive

You just be sure of that

I will survive

My New Virus

My New Virus

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The sun came up

But he doesn't know it

It isn’t that he doesn’t care

His mind was taken away

Stolen by a virus he didn’t know he had

He is a fighter

A warrior to say the least

He will not give up the life he lived

The people he loved

And the dreams he had

He always was the man we see before us

And he is not going anywhere

Happier Times

Happier Times

By Lord R.e. Taylor

 

Everyday

Every place

We live through life

Boring and stressful

It is always the same

People knew another way to live

They died off long ago

Still some of their traditions still survive

Dancing and singing in the streets

They knew what the world really was

Not a place where were stressed out

Not somewhere which put people to sleep

It was their home

A special place for celebrating life and all it offers

My Grandma’s Wheelbarrow

My Grandma’s Wheelbarrow

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It sat in the back yard

Right up next to the garden

It was so old

I think my grandma used it

Now it is all rusted

Stuck in the dirt

With a flat tire and several holes

We knew that it was still a treasure

We never moved it

It was where it was meant to be

A little bit of soil

A few beautiful flowers

And it became the beauty my grandma knew

A treasure from my past

The Earth Will Decide

The Earth Will Decide

By R.e. Taylor

The world is being torn

Caught between two sides

Man wants everything modern

Making things he wants

Mother Nature wants all life to live

With fields, trees, clean water and air

A war, lasting forever

Continuing a lot longer

Until the Earth says “enough”

And it makes the decision

Sunshine Hunts Me

Sunshine Hunts Me

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The dark is my home

Hiding me away

But the sunshine hunts me

Trying to take my soul

Swimming In The Cuyahoga

Swimming In The Cuyahoga

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I would love once again

On a hot summer day

Just a chance to swim again

In the waters of the Cuyahoga River

Just below a dam the size of a mountain

But that was so awfully long ago

In time the water has changed

The dam and surrounding land have changed

And even I have also changed

So, the feelings would no longer be there

Of course, there would be feelings

But they could never be the same

However, the memories of that cool water

The roar of the water coming down on us

And the laughter we all shared

Happily, they are all I will ever need
